= Stepper Timing

This page is for step and direction timing of stepper drives.

Please add to this list using the stepconf wizard format and in nanoseconds so
it will be uniform.

[[Hardware_Problems]]
Some boards have know issues see the troubleshooting hardware page

If your unsure about your drive timing start high like 10000 for each and test.
remember that signal conditioning and opto-isolation can increase timing
requirements. That's why you need to know the timings for a driver board, not
just the step translator chip that is contains.

Also notice that some controllers step on the falling edge some on the rising
edge. This matters as it will change the timing and will be hard to trace.
make sure LinuxCNC follows what the controller expects.

Note 1 if an asterisk precedes the name then the values are not confirmed. If
you can confirm the values please do...

Times listed are in nanoseconds (ns). Multiply microseconds (us) by 1000 to get
nanoseconds (ns)
